Changsheng Entertainment dared to invest a lot of money in film and television peripherals before the movie was released, in addition to its confidence in Zhang Sheng's movie, I am afraid that it also has great confidence in those peripheral products.

The toys of "Transformers" are indeed very popular with children.

Even many young people can't resist buying it and having fun.

Nowadays, the film and television peripherals of this movie have sold like crazy in China and are spreading abroad.

Among them, profits undoubtedly make countless companies in the circle blush.

It's a pity that they all know that this thing can't be imitated.

However, it is estimated that it will not be possible to strengthen the investment in film and television peripherals.

Jiang Bin's new film, Zhang Sheng does not have many roles.

Shooting is expected to be a week.

However, as Zhang Sheng guessed, the shooting time exceeded expectations.

It's just a lot shorter than the two weeks reserved by Zhang Sheng.

After filming, Zhang Sheng continued to run for the promotion of the movie.

It's just a transfer from home to abroad.

Although the domestic propaganda is still continuing, it is obvious that Zhang Sheng does not need to come forward.

"Transformers" has landed in foreign markets one after another, and the focus of Zhang Sheng's promotion is obviously in North America.

After all, North America is the world's largest film market.

Zhang Sheng took several main creators and went to Los Angeles again.

Although Wu Jie and others are not well-known in North America, when they promote movies, they can also promote themselves.

If he were alone, the publicity would feel much smaller.

Although Zhang Sheng has become well-known in North America with music, his movies have been recognized by North American fans.

A "Inception" gave him an excellent foundation.

"Transformers" was released in North America, and it still attracted the attention of North American fans, and the box office performance was still good.

Even in today's schedule, the competitive pressure is not small.

The summer file is also a blockbuster in North America.

There was also a Hollywood blockbuster released at the same time.

Its publicity intensity is naturally not comparable to "Transformers".

However, the reputation of that movie is not as good as "Transformers", and its staying power is naturally not as good.

The box office is a bit anticlimactic.

This also gave "Transformers" a chance.

A few days after its release, "Transformers" achieved a counterattack and became the single-day box office champion in North America.

The film went viral.

It's just that he didn't sit on the throne of the single-day box office champion for a few days, and was pressed down by a newly released Hollywood blockbuster.

That blockbuster has a strong lineup and an extremely good reputation.

"Hollywood seems intent on suppressing the influence of your film in North America."

Talking about this, Li Zhenguo opened his mouth and said to Zhang Sheng.

After a few days of publicity, Wu Jie and other main creators returned to China.

They're full.

But Zhang Sheng stayed.

The propaganda here is mainly based on Zhang Sheng.

After another publicity, Zhang Sheng was also preparing to return to China, and Li Zhenguo invited him to dinner.

"Normal!" Zhang Sheng said disapprenantly, "The North American market is regarded as a post-wreath by Hollywood, how can it make Chinese films rise up?" In fact, when Hollywood movies enter the domestic market, they will be somewhat suppressed. ”

Zhang Sheng naturally knows that if it weren't for Hollywood blockbusters, the box office of "Transformers" in North America would have risen a lot.

However, even so, he was happy with the box office of "Transformers" in North America.

Li Zhenguo nodded, but there was a bit of surprise in his eyes.

This is true, and the words are true, but if it is left on him, it is inevitable that he will be a little unconvinced.

Zhang Sheng's attitude towards this matter was too calm.

With such a heart, Li Zhenguo was somewhat surprised.

You're being targeted by Hollywood!

If this is a different person, I am afraid that I will not only be unconvinced, but I am also very unhappy.

Zhang Sheng was naturally not happy.

But what can be done?

This was expected by Zhang Sheng.

It would be strange if Hollywood didn't react.

"I heard that your company is preparing to buy Hollywood Dream Pictures?" Li Zhenguo asked.

The fortress was breached from within?

Li Zhenguo feels that this is probably the reason why Changsheng Entertainment acquired Dream Film Company.

The fact that Chinese films such as "Transformers" were able to achieve such a good box office in North America largely benefited from the distribution ability of Lion King Pictures.

Without the support of Hollywood's Lion King Pictures, Zhang Sheng's previous "Inception" and now "Transformers" may not have such a box office.

"Are you going to Hollywood?" Li Zhenguo then asked.

Whether Zhang Sheng will come to Hollywood is really uncertain.

After all, Zhang Sheng's acquisition of Hollywood companies is largely based on its use as a springboard to bring Chinese films to the world with the help of its distribution capabilities.

Whether there is an idea to develop this company, I'm afraid it's hard to say.

If not, then Zhang Sheng will definitely not come to Hollywood.

Even if he has the idea of development and doesn't pay enough attention to it, I'm afraid Zhang Sheng won't come in person.

"Dream Films is a little smaller after all." Zhang Sheng said, "The bigger the company, the more helpful it will be for Chinese films." Of course, the more money I earned. ”

The acquisition of film and television companies may be used as a springboard to let Chinese films go global.

But Zhang Sheng is not such a pure person.

The main thing about buying Hollywood studios is probably to make money.

Hollywood is the center of gravity of global cinema, and the benefits are understandable.

Celebrity artists can better go to the world when they step into Hollywood, and film and television companies are obviously too.

In addition, many of the movies in Zhang Sheng's mind are not suitable for adaptation into Chinese movies at all.

Then naturally a film and television company is needed.

It's not that Zhang Sheng can't get investment when he goes to Hollywood, but he doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others.

For example, the "Marvel" series of movies is obviously not suitable for adaptation into Chinese-language movies.

And how much gold this series has attracted can be imagined.

Zhang Sheng is looking for other film and television companies to cooperate, can he hold the copyright?

I'm afraid it's hard.

How can I do it without copyright?

This series makes money not only for movies, but also for film and television peripherals.

"Is Director Zhang's next movie still a science fiction film?" Li Zhenguo asked.

Zhang Sheng's movies are basically science fiction films.

Except for the first part of "Baby Zhiduoxing", and the spoof comedy "East Becomes West", which was specially made for the Spring Festival, the other movies are science fiction films.

However, no one thinks that Zhang Sheng will only make science fiction films.

After all, the films he writes involve many genres.

And the films he directed are not without other elements besides science fiction.

"If I make a martial arts movie, are you interested?"

Zhang Sheng looked at Li Zhenguo, but his heart moved, and then he asked with a smile.

"Martial arts films?"

Li Zhenguo is obviously a little wrong.

In these years, there are still people making martial arts films?

Martial arts movies have long since declined.

Zhang Sheng will not be clear about this?

If a director with a martial arts film plot is unwilling to accept the decline of martial arts films and has the idea of shooting a martial arts film, it is completely understandable.

But what about Zhang Sheng?

Li Zhenguo is a little incomprehensible.

In his opinion, Zhang Sheng originally made the film version of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" into a spoof comedy, largely because he knew that the box office of martial arts films could not be so amazing.

The highest box office record of martial arts films may poison him, and those movies have the lowest box office and the highest box office!

Zhang Shengke is not only a director, but also an investor.

Hasn't he always attached great importance to the box office?

"Interested!" Li Zhenguo quickly came back to his senses and said, "I'm very interested." ”

This is really not polite.

He is silent when making martial arts films, and he still has a lot of feelings for martial arts films.

Martial arts films are in decline, and he naturally doesn't want to see them.

It's just that people are selfish.

is now taking over martial arts films, which is beneficial and harmless to him.

So for so many years, Li Zhenguo has not taken on martial arts films anymore.

It's not like I haven't been invited before.

So why did you pick it up this time?

Naturally, I wanted to cooperate with Zhang Sheng.

He didn't want to miss out on Inception again, like he missed last time in Inception.

Zhang Sheng has always turned decay into magic, since he wants to make martial arts films, maybe martial arts films can create more brilliance.

Li Zhenguo does not doubt Zhang Sheng's attainments in martial arts films.

He knows that several martial arts dramas written by Zhang Sheng are regarded as classics by countless martial arts fans in China.

At the beginning, "East Becomes West" was expected by many martial arts fans.

It's a pity that it's not a martial arts film, but a comedy.

"Why don't you read the script first?" Zhang Sheng asked with a smile.

"Do you still need to worry about the quality of your script?" Li Zhenguo shook his head.

Zhang Sheng's script has always been guaranteed.

"Okay!" When Zhang Sheng heard this, he said with a smile, "After I go back, I'll sort out the script and send it to you." ”

What to sort out, Zhang Sheng hasn't written it at all.

However, he already had an idea, and it was naturally much easier to write the script.

And which martial arts film is Zhang Sheng going to make?

There are many classic martial arts films, but if you have to mention one, it must be "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

It's not that this movie is liked by many martial arts fans, but that the results of this movie are too dazzling.

If Zhang Sheng had focused on the domestic market, he might not have chosen this movie.

But if you look at the global film market, this martial arts film is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, there is another big reason why Zhang Sheng chose this movie, that is, this movie is amazing above the awards.

is still so amazing at the Oscars, so what about the domestic Golden Dragon Award?

Zhang Sheng wants to win the best director or something with this movie.

has not won a single best director, and Zhang Sheng's status in the circle will not be affected.

It's hard to avoid regrets.

He always felt that something was missing.

Before going to Hollywood, make up for this regret, and then tell everyone that if he wants Zhang Sheng to win the award, he can really win it.

Rather than being praised online.

Was it difficult to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?

Yes!

This movie does not have the arrogance of ordinary martial arts films, which may be one of the reasons why this movie is not very popular with domestic martial arts fans.

The whole film seems to be looking for a deep contemplation and implication of the humanistic connotation of the rivers and lakes.

This movie has a very strong exploration of traditional culture.

Repression and restraint of individual people.

At the same time, it shows the powerful role and necessity of this oriental social norm, as well as his contradictory collision with human nature and the final tragic reconciliation.

The film awards classical aesthetic traditions and emotional concepts to a new level.

For Zhang Sheng, the difficulty of shooting this film is also this.

However, Zhang Sheng is no longer what it used to be.

There are references to the original film, and Zhang Sheng has also seen a lot of discussions and analyses about this movie.

With his understanding of this film, as well as his current level of directing, it may not be impossible to surpass the original version and reach the level of the original version.
